Lagos Police Saves Woman Who Wanted To Kill Herself By Jumping Into Lagoon

Just days after a medical doctor, Allwell Orji jumped into the Lagoon from Third Mainland Bridge and died,  a woman Taiwo Titilayo Momoh almost made the same stunt today but for the quick intervention of police officers.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni told newsmen at the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, headquarters, Lagos Government Secretariat, Alausa, today that Momoh was in a taxi heading towards Oworonshoki on Third Mainland Bridge when she told the taxi driver to stop on the bridge.

According to Owoseni, the woman was about to jump into the water when a police patrol team on a routine patrol on the Third Mainland Bridge sighted her and rushed to save her before she jumped into the Lagoon.

that is why in some cities abroad, it's against the law to publicize a popular suicide spot. many depressed people would be tempted to go there.
